Who are the students at LMA? How well do we know each other?
We will explore this by interviewing another student and creating a class video to introduce our class to the rest of our school.
Some topics for brainstorming:
summer happenings
hobbies
our families
favorites
Where Have I Been
Where Am I Going
If I already know this person, how can I bring out some more information; what else do I want to know
Some questions/interview prompts that could be used:
How would you finish this sentence: "I wish I could...."?
What is your favorite . . . . . .?
How would you describe yourself?
What do you think you'll be doing in 10 years?
Goals and Learning Targets
conversational skills
paraphrasing
community building
expressive language/public speaking
sequencing
